The waiter was very polite, but service was really slow and there were only a few other tables occupied. So it wasn’t like they were really busy. Asked for mild on all dishes. One was too spicy for me, the other was great. There were only two of us and we did try a few different things, but the bill was $90 for lunch, no alcohol. Just an appetizer, two entrees, one vegetable dish, bread and dessert and two drinks. My Indian friend asked the waiter (who was not Indian) if they had certain Indian dishes and he said he didn’t know what some of them were. This was only my second time eating Indian food so I invited my Indian friend so she could educate me on it. Overall the food was very good , the place was nice enough, and the staff were friendly.

Everything was good, except that I was surprised to be charged $5 for sliced onions and lemon which I requested for (which is complimentary in all the other Indian restaurants I've visited)

Very expensive for what is offered. Neither the food nor the service is good. The $5 salad plate was the most hilarious: 4 pieces of onion rings, 3 thin slices each of cucumber and carrot, 2 green chillies which were kept as is, and one cilantro leaf.

It was a decent experience. A chain that is owned by Sanjeev Kapoor do come with a lot of expectations in terms of ambience and food. The food was decent enough and the restaurant looks a bit dull and gloomy. The service was very good considering only two of the staffs were managing everything end to end. Full marks to them. A bit disappointing, I must say!

Great food however, if you’re not completely knowledgeable about what the food is, it needed a little better explanation and possibly pictures on the menu. Our server was very polite and very nice, however very hard to understand and didn’t really explain the menu items to us where we could understand what they were. It was our first experience there and we were very excited to try something new.

Good location. We were seated immediately by cordial host. The food quality left much to be desired. It’s gone down since my last visit. The food had a heavy seasoning of black pepper and garam masala. The soup and appetizers were decent. The entree would have been better but the black pepper dominated all other flavors. The breads tasted good but felt like they were made sometime ago. At the end my expectations were higher and the food did not deliver.
